GIGABYTE GTX 1660 Super New Thermal Pads ( GELID)

I bought a used GTX 1660 Super online on FB Marketplace. When I test it the temperature is above normal even if it is in idle mode. I decided to open it and replace it with a new thermal pads from GELID and the thermal paste from thermalright. The two chips below the GPU Core is 0.5mm thick and I have no stock so I just reused the 1.0mm thick from its memory chips since it is almost the same size as a 0.5mm new since it is already compressed.
After two months of using the temperature is just ok and I plan to- buy a 0.5mm thick thermal pads for future uses. Thank you all for supporting my channel.

Thanks for the video it was very helpful

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Glad it helps

[@goorthiss]

I recommend giving to the core Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change material, and instead of thermopads thermal putty Upsiren UX Pro Ultra and finally perform undervolting.

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Thanks for the info sir. I saw this on lazada online at an affordable price and the customers feedback are good and satisfied.

[@maxluther6190]

Thanks for measuring! I've lost my original pads, and didn't measure it.

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Happy to hear that. I just ran out some 0.5mm. but i ordered now.

[@destruxandexploze2552]

I measured mine at 2mil, your size may vary.

[@jrv1326]

It's very not recommended to combine pads. Some of these pads are affordable so get the proper pad thickness

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Yes. If you have the right thickness go for it. I used a good brand pads so its quiet expensive for me thats why I combined pads.

[@vissivarrel9721]

hello, how many the temperature differences before and after replacing the thermal pad? i also having the same temperature issue with my gigabyte gtx 1660 super so i decided to change the thermal paste but it won't do much, and now i think i also have to replace the thermal pad like you did. what a helpful content, keep it up!

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Yes sir good job you also replaced the thermal pads. What is your way of measuring the old/compressed/brittle pads? Thanks

[@chk_g]

Do you know if the thermalpad thickness is the same for the Gigabyte Ti version? I would be very grateful if you know this answer. Thanks for the upload!

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

May be next time sir. I do not have Ti version. Thanks for watching

[@M.Farooq555]

Nice

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Thanks

[@SomeOne-ho4eb]

Hello brother , It’s been long time since I’m trying to find the thermal pads size of zotac gtx 1660 super but infrequently I didn’t find anything about that and I don’t know any thing about this, please can you tell me what I’m looking for ? Big love form germany

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

I used to stock thermal pads sir and measure the actual pads after i opened it. Just add a little or round off to above nearest value since the old pads are already compressed.

[@mohanedmahmoud5384]

I put 1.5mm On all parts of the graphics card The temperature rose to the worst from 70° to 81° can y help me what should I do

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

This is just my opinion sir. Open, Check and Repaste the gpu. Examine the thermal pads contacts and add 0.5mm for those who have very little contact to the heat sink. Or if you can measure the stock pads thickness if you still have it.

[@mohanedmahmoud5384]

How do I know these have little contact with the heat sink?​@@aqmgameshobbies8165

[@LewisFurkan]

I have gigabyte gtx 1660 super,I'm thinking of replacing the thermal pad.How many mm do you suggest?

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

They have different sizes for the memory and vrm. I show it in the video. Thanks

[@gungsigung]

i have gigabyte gtx 1660 ti, i think it have a same model wtih this card. so for thermal pads do we only need 1.0 mm & 1.5mm? or its better to have 2.5mm too? or can i just use a 1.0mm & 0.5mm combo?

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Its better if it has a total of 2.5mm than a thinner 1.5mm to ensure proper contact. Please make sure also all the pads have a good contact, not one is hanging or it has no gap between pads and metal.

[@gungsigung]

@@aqmgameshobbies8165 thx for the help man, i hope all the best for you and your channel ✌🏽

[@chk_g]

Did you change the thermal pads of your Ti? I'm looking for the thickness of the Ti version, but I can't find anywhere.

[@gungsigung]

@@chk_g im about to change it, but since my card still have warranty, i'll claim it to the official distributor first, Then see how it goes.

[@mohanedmahmoud5384]

Are the cheap Thermal Pad types different from the expensive types?

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

There are cheap brands that offer good prices. has good thermal conductivity rating from 12 to 17 w/m-K but have not tried it yet. Pcf brand. Maybe ill try it next

[@xHitesh777]

bro you put the fans cover wrong in the end. see 24:31 and 1:10 see the screws. you maybe forcefully put the cover on heatsink

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Oh. Thanks for the reminder sir. Ill check it

[@xHitesh777]

Yeah it will go inside the heatsink

[@Arilleria]

dang i need to buy 3 diff thckness welp

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Yes better have some stocks of different thickness for future needs

[@Neolantis]

Where do you get the pads from

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Online from lazada ph

[@rsh2099]

No temp tests before/after. Also 15x60 2mm + 15x30 1mm for VRAM, 1mm for VRM. GODDAYM, spread the paste with a spatula over the surface of the chip before installing radiator! A drop of lubricant for coolers to eliminate crackling and buzzing noises, this is common problem with this cheap gigabyte version. Kinda noob guide.

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Thanks for the input. About the spatula we have the option to just use single drop. Many have tried this technique and I myself have done both and its ok. I should have included before/after temps

[@john0000011111]

Neves use spatula u just creat air bubles everywhere dot or line the best whatch some vids.

[@douglaskay1192]

ooh so that's what caused those buzzing noise, I thought it was the coil whine

[@covidbryant6412]

what temps before and after?

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

I tried it mining some coin it goes up to 70 and going, now its 61 to 63. same settings used.

[@miradoggy]

@@aqmgameshobbies8165 did you undervolt? Mine still hits 80c under full load

[@miradoggy]

Well I did not measure the pads so

[@covidbryant6412]

@@miradoggy i have same gigabyte. I think this card runs really hot. room temp is around 30c and I get up to 80-82c when playing games. I just lower power limit or undervolt just to keep temps lower

[@RiveryJerald]

decrease the clock speeds via msi afterburner, it will reduce the temps, but don't game on high spec required games on high or ultra. :P@@covidbryant6412

[@annalan1895]

want to cooperate with you. How can I contact you?

[@aqmgameshobbies8165]

Sure
